Arranged during the UBB Centenary and dedicated to the First World War, the museum presents in a documentary context the drawings of artist Alexandru Duma (1887-1916), made during the two years spent on the front as a soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army. Alexandru Duma is considered one of the distinct personalities of the Baia Mare School of Painting, and the notebooks left behind have both documentary value and a certain artistic value. Visitors who will cross the threshold of the new museum will find out details about the biography, work and itinerary of the artist on the front with the help of a digital platform created especially for this museum, will discover in the exhibited drawings... various aspects of military life – from everyday events behind the front to more or less tense moments in the trenches or in the hospital – and will be able to experience the atmosphere of the Great War through a VR film included in the permanent exhibition of the museum. In the future, the multimedia room of the Alexandru Duma Museum will host activities for students and pupils, as well as for other categories of public interested in the Great War.
